Chevrolet runs in Craig's blood

MOTORING NEWS - Craig Anderson from George - a Chevrolet enthusiast to the core - is the proud owner of this unique 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS.

The Camaro has been fitted with an LS 3 V8 engine and a MagnaCharger 1900. Other modifications include LS 9 injectors with a MagnaCharger pulley that boost the RPM.

The Camaro runs at 650 wheel horse power, which translates to 600kW with 1 000Nm on the flywheel. It has a centerforce heavy duty clutch to handle the extra power.

Due to these modifications the vehicle runs on a higher 98 octane fuel. Anderson says Chevrolet runs in his blood. "My father drove a Chev for 30 years and I have owned several models myself.

"I love this Camaro. It is a very reliable car. I have just completed a 3 200km Thunder tour with it."

Only about 10 of these Camaros have been imported and Anderson owns two.
